About Kirsten

Experience: 10 yrs

Hello! My name is Kirsten and I am a career nanny with 16 years of experience with children aged infant-teen. I am seeking a family for about 10-20 hours a week for household management and childcare needs. I am CPR and first aid certified and also have my newborn specialist certification and have excellent references. I am fully vaccinated and love to get out and about-. Parks, library Story time, museums, farms, and whatever fun things we can find in your area are top of the list! Indoor activities include reading, arts and crafts, imaginative play, baking, etc. I am very clean and organized and love to cook, can do your grocery shopping as well as organize your home and I'm happy to do a mixture of chiIdcare and household management or just one or the other. I did work as a dog trainer and have two kitties of my own and I am happy to help with pets as well. I'd love to find someone close by in Palatine and surrounding areas.

Kirsten was our nanny for 6 months for our 3 year old and 6 month old during a challenging time when I was transitioning back to work and adjusting to a new life with a newborn. I always trusted her with my kids, and as a mom herself, she always had motherly instincts. It was extra special days at our house when she would bring her daughter over to play with my oldest. My daughter still talks about these play dates!
